Predicting The Rotten Tomatoes Scores For 2017's Biggest Remaining Movies
16. Murder On The Orient Express (65%)
Predicted Critical Consensus: "Benefiting hugely from its terrific all-star cast and led by Kenneth Branagh's sturdy direction, Murder on the Orient Express is an Agatha Christie adaptation that really works."
This one is all about that massive ensemble cast, for while the narrative likely won't be much to write home about, the sheer novelty of seeing this group of actors thrown together should make it an enjoyable enough sit.
Plus, Branagh's direction looks dynamic and more interesting than the material needs, so that should help. His portrayal of Poirot will probably end up rather mixed, though, if the general reaction to the first trailer is any indication.
